Well that a second show I wouldn't mind watching but cannot due to not being available here in the UK. I'll see how rest of announcements on new shows go. But it does kind of feel like us UK/EU paying members are being screwed slightly this season.

chances of kuroko being simulacst is high because they simulcast the first season...is it like this??

CR has a very high success rate in getting the sequel to any series they have simulcast.

I can think of at least twice where it didnt happen, however.

The first was with Milky Holmes, which reportedly didn't do that well on CR. In Japan, however, it apparently did well enough that it had a third series this summer (which no one in the U.S. simulcast).

The second was the second Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? (Is This a Zombie?) series. The sequel being on CR was a bit in question from the start, as CR's relationship with Kadokawa (the publisher) had changed, and Funimation had already licensed the original series for home video. While in the past in a similar situation, both CR and Funimation had a simulcast, only Funimation got it that time.

Kuroko's Basketball apparently did very well on CR, so no problems there. It also hasn't been licensed by any company that sees CR as streaming competition, so no problem there either. Basically, it gets the "all clear" signal.

Same here, when there are seasons like this were there isn't much I'm interested from just the descriptions I will watch a couple of episodes of everything (except the overly ecchi ones) I have found a lot of interesting series that way.
